Ingredients
Oreos
- 18.71 ounce Family size package Double Stuff Oreos (36 cookies)
Coatings
- 10 ounce bag Ghirardelli vanilla melting wafers
- 12 ounce bag Wilton red candy melts
- 12 ounce bag Wilton royal blue candy melts
Decorations
- White nonpareils
Instructions
- Prepare baking trays: Line baking trays with parchment paper and set aside to keep coated Oreos from sticking during cooling.
- Melt blue candy melts: Using a double boiler on low heat, melt about three-quarters of the royal blue candy melts, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, melt in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each.
- Coat Oreos in blue melts: Place one Oreo on a fork, dip fully into the blue melts, lift and tap to remove excess. Place on parchment-lined tray, immediately top with white nonpareils. Repeat for 8-10 more cookies. Refrigerate until coating sets.
- Melt red candy melts: Using a double boiler or microwave, melt about three-quarters of the red candy melts until smooth.
- Coat Oreos in red melts: Dip Oreos fully into red melts using a fork, tap off excess and place on lined tray spaced 1-2 inches apart. Repeat for 8-10 cookies.
- Melt white melting wafers for drizzle: Melt about ¼ cup of white vanilla melting wafers in microwave on low setting, massaging the piping bag every 30 seconds for even heat.
- Drizzle white on red Oreos: Snip a small piece from the piping bag tip and drizzle lines over the red coated Oreos. Refrigerate until set.
- Melt remaining white melting wafers: Melt the rest of the white vanilla melting wafers using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Coat Oreos in white melts: Dip Oreos fully into white melts, tap off excess, and place on lined tray spaced apart. Repeat for 8-10 cookies.
- Melt remaining red and blue candy melts for drizzle: Melt the leftover red and royal blue candy melts separately in two small piping bags using microwave on low setting, massaging every 30 seconds.
- Drizzle red and blue over white Oreos: Snip small tips from both piping bags and drizzle lines of red and blue candy in alternating or same direction over the white coated Oreos. Refrigerate until set.
- Store and serve: Keep all decorated Oreos refrigerated until ready to serve for best texture and appearance.
Notes
- Use a fork to dip Oreos gently to avoid breaking the cookies.
- Ensure candy melts are smooth and completely melted for even coating.
- Work quickly when dipping and decorating to avoid hardening before setting decorations.
- Refrigerate coated Oreos after decorating to help set the candy melts firmly.
- Space cookies 1-2 inches apart to prevent sticking as they set.
- White nonpareils should be added immediately after dipping blue Oreos for best adherence.
- Piping bags can be substituted with ziplock bags with a small cut on the corner if needed.
